I had never used a vanilla bean before and it is pretty amazing! Changes I made to the recipe....a variety of apples--2 golden delish, 3 MacIntosh, and 2 Honeycrisp. Incredible depth of flavor--but in the future I would use 4 golden delish, 2 MacIntosh, and 2 Honeycrisp. The MacIntosh had wonderful flavor--but turn to mush--thus thickening the sauce nicely. Also, I had no Brandy, so used Tuaca instead. I think a pat of butter to finish it off should give it a touch of richness. Serving this over french bread for guests and made it ahead.

Really good, but I followed the recipe exactly and it never thickened up as promised. I added two tablespoons of cornstarch at the end, which worked perfectly!

I always follow the recipe exactly and never have a problem with thickness. It is perfect everytime. It is great with those small buttery bagels...and over waffles...and over vanilla ice cream...and by itself...I think I'll go make it right now!

If you like to thicken it, add a tablespoon of cornstarch and boil more. Add more if you want it thicker. I substituted brandy with dark rum. This is a good recipe if you are looking for a basic compote to complement something...Try it with ricotta cheese icecream, its delicious!!

I really wish the juices would have thickend more. I tried adding some brown sugar and I put it in the fridge overnight but it didn't help. I'm sure I'll look for another recipe if I want to make this again.

I made this as a sidedish for a pork
tenderloin potluck dinner. I love to have at least one make-ahead, room-temperature item for big gatherings.
I did skip the expensive vanilla bean. I had some apples ready when the mixture boiled and added the rest as ready. I liked the varied texture.
I did add walnuts and dried cranberries
when I was ready to put the dish on the
table. I also put some leftovers in the
freezer and used them tonight. After at least five weeks, it was still great.

This is an easy and versatile recipe. It tasted great with bagels and I think even better with spong cake!
